Cowboys Acquire WR Shorts from Jags

The Dallas Cowboys got some much needed WR help in the form of Cecil Shorts III from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cowboys sent over RB Demarco Murray in the deal. Murray had seen his role with the team diminish as Keevon Arnold and Lance Dunbar took more reps and performed well. Arnold currently is near the top of the league in rushing. With the Cowboys using a high pick on Arnold that they acquired in the infamaous Dez Bryant deal, the writting was on the wall for Murray as Arnold began living uo to the hype.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys got an instant upgrade in WR Shorts. Shorts isn't a game breaked, but is easily the most polished route runner on the team. Shorts was available to play in the Cowboys recent win vs the Rams and caught one pas for 21 yards. The Cowboys figure his role will increase with the team as he learns the playbook and develops chemistry and timing with Hansen Boone.
Coach Coldwar said that the Cowboys still would like to nake one more deal to acquire an offensive weapon. Jerry Jones has given Coach Coldwar full control over player personnel decisions, something that no other coach has enjoyed during their tenure at Valley Ranch. As the trade deadline approaches, expect the Cowboys to be busy attempting to imprve the roster. Coach Coldwar didn't specify what player or position the Boys would be targeting, sayin he prefered to keep that a secret. The only hint he would give is to say, "Real Popo respect Pause Popo." Fax machine on standby.
